"We’re on a mission to build climate resilient homes for all…leveraging the latest robotics and automation technologies." Construction costs have doubled in the last decade, and we have a shortage of skilled workers to build them anyway. In addition, climate events are getting more severe, so how can we start designing products that are climate-friendly, more resilient to changing weather patterns, and significantly less expensive? That’s Reframe Systems in a nutshell, explained Vikas ...

"We must teach kids that they can be a manufacturer too – not just a doctor, lawyer, or fireperson. You get to work with cutting-edge machines and with your hands, but we haven’t really been able to create this feeling yet." There’s a lot of work to be done when it comes to reaching down further into school systems to help them understand, and to help teachers and faculty understand that manufacturing is a viable career, said Suzy Teele, Chief Strategy Officer at the ARM Institute.

"When it comes to AI in the industrial world, it represents supply chain optimization with demand forecasting, predictive maintenance, machine vision for quality control, and much more. But it also represents the elimination of manual tasks." Views on AI have changed drastically over the last five or so years, suggests Naresh Ram, Chief Science Officer at AAXIS. Today AI represents the elimination of manual and repetitive tasks that no one wants to do or should be doing in the first place. F...

The waveguides, modulators, microscopic lasers, photodetectors, and other optical components that form photonic integrated circuits (PICs) all need to be perfectly aligned to minimize signal loss on the chip. PICs simply cannot improve yields, lower costs, or efficiently scale without ever-faster alignment tools able to perform with nanometer precision. In this episode, TECH B2B’s Dan McCarthy chats with Physik Instrumente’s Scott Jordan about the advanced alignment tools and AI algorithms th...

When systems integrators hit roadblocks where they must design something brand new that’s never been done before, that’s what we’re good at. There are a lot of great systems integrators out there that build industrial automation systems that can do exactly what you need, bringing together industrial robots, controllers, vision systems, control cabinets, PLCs, and so on, explains Doug Harriman, Vice President of Engineering at Simplexity Product Development. These integrators know the space, ...

Systems integrators can become victims of their own success. In these cases, remote support becomes a much more viable and cost-efficient option. Some systems integrators can become victims of their own success. When integrators deploy many systems and the crew that built the cells don't have the bandwidth to travel and see all these customers and can’t staff up massive service departments – it can become an issue. Companies looking for a more cost-effective means of keeping customers happy ...

By some measures, the production of optics and photonics core components is $400 billion a year market now, and the technology’s downstream value far exceeds that figure — particularly when calculating in new developments like photonic integrated circuits (PICs). But will photonics ever challenge the value of electronics? Or is it more of an analog to electronics’ early days? Or is photonics simply one of the electronics industry’s more interesting corners? Optica’s senior industry advisor, D...

If you're selling a limited number of products over the course of Q1-Q3, and then suddenly you have this incredible spike in demand with peak season, that variability doesn't lend itself to sort of traditional forms of automation. The world is changing, day to day, week to week, and what you are selling today may not be what you are selling tomorrow. In addition, consumer e-commerce demands can shift drastically – whether it’s the pandemic, the labor shortage, or seasonal spikes – different ...

Whether it’s in retail, robotics, or quality inspection, our customers today are finding ways to leverage AI to merge multiple different components at once instead of having a single line for one component. While the attention of the masses may gravitate toward robots and AI, machine vision remains an indispensable and increasingly vital technology for businesses of all types around the world.

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) technology is sparking transformations in applications as diverse as LiDAR systems, agri-food, and hyperscale data centers. But manufacturing PICs at scale demands a level of complexity beyond the scope of any single company. It will take an ecosystem. That is the principle behind PhotonDelta’s alliance of materials foundries, PIC designers, chip packaging firms, and other technology partners working together to fulfill the promise of PICs technology.

Whether you’re programming robots, working in a clean room environment or a dirty steel mill, people working in manufacturing jobs can make a fantastic living and should be proud. Industrial cables are the silent technology that keeps the PLC connected to the HMI and the robot connected to the controller. In some ways, the only time that people think of cables is when there is a problem with one, according to Jay Swank, Business Development Manager – North America, Lynxeo. In this episode of ...

“Let's not treat the humans like a robot. Let's treat the robot like a robot.” Welding and fabrication can be tedious and unfulfilling when you’re creating the same part over and over. This is just one factor that’s making welders harder to find around the globe. While some manufacturers have invested in traditional robotic welding cells to handle repetitive tasks, they’re often prohibitively expensive and hard to use.

What comes to mind when reading the term “no-touch serialization?” and how does that fit into the machine vision space? Can you imagine taking images of each blank piece of paper in a full ream, “feature printing” (think digital fingerprint), each of them, and then being able to identify each one? For U.S. Pacific Northwest company Alitheon, this is everyday life.
